July Capsule | Outfits
Saturday, August 04, 2018July was glorious wasn't it? I'm glad I decided to split my seasonal capsule wardrobe into three, I've loved wearing lots of items I don't usually get to wear but there's a lot more in my wardrobe that deserves to see the light of day.
I don't know if it's the slight tan I've managed to achieve, my new attitude of 'life's too short', or if it's just the sun shining so consistently but I've been feeling good. Really good. Body confident and happy in my own skin.
I can't explain it as I still have the same 'flaws' as I had last year, in fact I've gathered a few more, they just seem to matter less. One thing I do know is that putting on an outfit each day that I love has, in some small part, added to my current frame of mind.
Long may it continue.
These are a handful of the outfits I put together from my July Capsule. I read somewhere recently that capsules are full of style classics, and therefore can be rather dull and uninspiring, lacking in any amount of fun. Pah! What nonsense! I've had great fun with this capsule.
I'm looking forward to the coming months with added enthusiasm, the sun is shining and life is good.

You've got some lovely dresses and we've had the weather to wear them. It's not often I get my legs out, they're usually covered by jeans but even I've had bare legs this summer.
ReplyDeleteIn this heat you can't stay in jeans, you'd melt!

Your July capsule does not look boring at all, if anything it looks quite fun-packed and I'm amazed at the number of totally different outfits you were able to create. You're looking great in all of them: no wonder you've been feeling so good! I admit I've been struggling a bit, as I don't think my wardrobe, overflowing as it might be, is made for weather like this. I had to go out and do some major charity shopping! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think people have misconceptions about capsules. There were many more outfits that I could've created but I ran out of days in the month :)
DeleteI have a problem whereby I buy lots of items for summer, but rarely get to wear them! So this summer has allowed me to get them out and wear them all. Sorry you've been struggling, but it's always nice to go shopping!

your long skirts all look lovely and cool, very versatile
ReplyDeleteThey are a go-to of mine. The weather doesn't normally allow me to wear the shorter ones so it's nice to give those an airing too.

A fabulously colourful wardrobe! How nice it is to be able to wear all our summery clothes? I've never been in the slightest bit interested in knitwear and coats so, like you, most of the things I own are lightweight and flimsy.
ReplyDeleteCapsules are only boring if the items selected are those dull basics we're always being told we need - beige trenchcoats, white shirts and black linen trousers...yawn! xxx
It's SO nice to be able to wear my summer clothes.
DeleteIt's a compliment for you to say it's fabulously colourful - yours is the most colourful wardrobe I know!!
I do love knitwear but I seem to think I live somewhere much warmer than I actually do, so my wardrobe is summer clothes heavy. I have some 'must have' wardrobe staples, but not because I'm told I need them, but because they fit into my wardrobe with ease. I've never had any hankering to own a beige trenchcoat - they always make me think of bank managers. And linen? No thanks - all that ironing!
